  Royal descent of the MackGehees from the time of the Magna Carta on through Robert Bruce to Patrick McGregor and how the name changed. Royal Scots Change Name Posted 26 Feb 2023 by John Moore I found this information in an online book, and the author traces the family of the MackGeehees back to the DeClare family members, who were "a Surety for the Magna Charta", and on to Robert Bruce, King of Scotland, and to titled MacDonnalds. One of the MacDonnald daughters, Marian, married Patrick MacGregor, "Chieftan of teh Ilk" who led his clansmen under Montrose in 1645 and was outlawed in Scotland and left Scotland to settle in Virginia. Marian and Patrick's son took the name of John Murray and the second son became Thomas MackGehee.
